Frequently asked questions
Can I view survey responses and NPS scores?
Yes. Use list_surveys to see all surveys with response counts and status. Use get_survey_stats for aggregate metrics including completion rate, NPS score, and response trends. Use list_survey_responses to read individual user responses. Use get_survey for the full question list and settings.
Can I analyze heatmap data for specific pages?
Yes. Use list_heatmaps to browse all heatmap snapshots, then get_heatmap with a specific Heatmap ID to retrieve click, scroll, and move interaction data along with the page URL. This reveals where users focus attention and which elements they interact with most.
Can I track conversion funnel drop-offs?
Yes. The list_funnels tool retrieves all configured conversion funnels with step-by-step drop-off data. Each funnel shows the number of users entering each step and the percentage that continue to the next, helping you identify exactly where users abandon the flow.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add --transport http "" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
